Sida 65 - Heaven doth with us as we with torches do, Not light them for themselves ; for if our virtues Did not go forth of us, 'twere all alike As if we had them not.
Sida 173 - em as they're new. — ' To one at least your usual favor show ; — ' A female asks it, can a man say no ? ' Should you indulge our novice yet unseen, • And crown her with your hands a tragic queen : ' Should you with smiles a confidence impart, ' To calm those fears which speak a feeling heart; ' Assist each struggle of ingenuous shame, ' Which curbs a genius in its road to fame ; ' With one wish more her whole ambition ends — ' She hopes some merit to deserve such friends.

Sida 80 - I know this myself perfectly, by having had, about twenty years ago, an old wardrobe I found in the ruins of my theatrical Herculaneum, and which was of great antiquity, and had appertained to Roman emperors, kings, &c. when not a performer, lady or gentleman of the London theatres, but would have involuntarily laughed at the old broad seams of gold and silver lace, and have cast piteous and contemptuous looks on the country performers thus loaded with trumpery: Yet those despicable clothes had,...
Sida 176 - THE frequent miftakes which I find I have made in the chronology of my theatrical anecdotes, will, I hope, be imputed to my reciting them, as I have already obferved, entirely from memory; and the deviation, I truft, will be excufed by you and my readers, as the incidents themfelves, though perhaps erroneous in point of time, are real facts.
